lyrics

I tend to over think,
forget the reason why I came
Indifferent, my self-worth is wrecked
Disdain is why I've no respect
I deserve better than this
I deserve better than this
God, see it, see it, see it
God, see it

[chorus:]
It’s not what you are
It’s what you are not
It’s not what you are
It’s what you are not
Like the wise man said
Like the wise man said

Why say these things of me?
Distort the vibe and agitate?
I'm miserable, I'm treated unfair
You treat me like I deserve no care
Your wrongings I call out, you twist
I've deserved better than this
All, see it, see it, see it
All, see it

{chorus (last two lines doubled)}

I’m stranded here in mere daze
Vast melancholic haze
Clawing out to reach the end
Never want to be here again

(I see it, see it, see it)

(I see it, see it, see it)

Is bliss just a reward for suffering
by sympathy or attempt?
Self-righteousness to self-infliction
Can't I ask for grace?

Time to set some things straight
I can swear, a torn or missing page
You will lie to yourself til your dead
People follow falsehoods in your head
You deserve much less than you get
don't know why you show me no respect
I’ve had not the best of days
when no souls give mine the right of way
I've drowned in tears of shame
When even the wise looked less of me
I say you’ve errors in head,
no remorse so long as privilege granted
When will you stop causing me pain?
Isn't it enough, what you have gained?
Can someone please try to gain
righteousness before it fades away?
